In what way is it not working?
I may be making the same mistake as you. It looks good to me, excepting
that there's no prompt to tell someone to type in a string. So if it ran
as-is, it would appear to be hanging there, when it's just waiting for
input.

Ok I am beating my head why this is not working...
$fname = <STDIN>;
chomp $fname;
$fletter = substr($fname,0,1);
# now we have the first letter of the first name
if ( $fletter =~ /[a-f]/i) {
print "First letter is a-f\n";
}
You get the picture I would have other if's based on the first letter
however my regex is not working any idea I just need another prospective on
it.
